I don't see why not. You have to remember the cost of what the Clintons gave up for that $2.5 million is zero. It cost nothing to look the other
way and approve this deal. If you could invest $0 and get a return of $2.5 mill (and that's just what we know of at this time), would you do it?
There may have been additional "donations" as well, so the final take is unknown.

Independent here, and I can't stand ANY of the candidates, but the fact that Clinton is running for president rather than running from a prosecution
is just sickening me.

It's not impossible, but unless there were other silver linings (which is possible) I can almost assure you that they would not take on that level of
risk for such a low bribe. These people are neither that desperate, nor that stupid. They are not low level politicians or officials.

Note that I am not precluding the possibility of their corruption.

Also, it is important to remember that lobbyists and corporations are ALWAYS donating money to candidates and their foundations, more directly than
donating to Clinton Foundation. Remember that CF is fundamentally an NGO that works on global development issues. It does not funnel money to
campaigns for the Clintons. Contrast this with many of our politicians receiving hefty campaign contributions, which is more direct corruption. Look
at the fact that Koch brothers, who are moneyed corporate interests, will be giving hundreds of millions of dollars, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, for the
upcoming presidential elections and probably deals worth less than the uranium deal. This is what I mean, 2.5 million is chump change to Clinton,
Koch, Bush. Such a donation might get you an Ambassadorship position, lol. Literally. That's a whole other form of corruption. But I
digress.

I wish the Clinton body count would, at some point, include non-Americans....seriously, stop killing us
Or better yet, stop killing people altogether....Americans or otherwise
What did we ever do to yall?

Romney said, “I was stunned by it. I mean, it looks like bribery. I mean, there is every appearance that Hillary Clinton was bribed to grease the
sale of, what, 20% of America’s uranium production to Russia, and then it was covered up by lying about a meeting at her home with the principals,
and by erasing emails. And you know, I presume we might know for sure whether there was or was not bribery, if she hadn’t wiped out thousands of
emails. But this is a very, very serious series of facts, and it looks like bribery.”

Although this is the first I heard the specifics of this oil company donor situation, there have been reports for a long time about Clinton's
foundation accepting large donations from foreign governments while she was Secretary of State.

The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state,
including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration, foundation officials disclosed Wednesday. Most of the
contributions were possible because of exceptions written into the foundation’s 2008 agreement, which included limits on foreign-government
donations.

In addition to Algeria donating to the foundation, at a time when they were lobbying the US on human rights issues:

Some of the donations came from countries with complicated diplomatic, military and financial relationships with the U.S. government, including
Kuwait, Qatar and Oman. Other nations that donated included Australia, Norway and the Dominican Republic.

A review of foundation disclosures shows that at least two foreign governments — Germany and the United Arab Emirates — began giving in 2013 after
the funding restrictions lapsed when Clinton left the Obama administration.

The situation with this oil company is likely just one of many that will now be investigated.

Accepting such donations exposes someone in her position to all kinds of corruption charges.
